Heavy Load Blues is Gov’t Mule’s deep dive into the blues, led by Warren Haynes. Mixing gritty originals with fresh takes on classics by Bobby Bland, Elmore James, Tom Waits, and more, the album captures the raw emotion and soul of the genre. Rooted in Southern rock but fully immersed in blues tradition, it’s a heartfelt tribute and a powerful expression of the form’s enduring spirit.
